General transfer rumours

Said a while ago when they were linked with Griezmann and then Morata before they rejected them that he'd be the best fit for them and i'd be more worried if they went for him.

He has a lot of flaws and will never be world class but he guarantees you goals and is unplayable on his day. With United's/Mourinho's dreadful park the bus and hoofball tactics he'll bang them in for fun there. With him, they can do what they did to every decent side last year and play 6 at the back now with an actual threat of nicking a crappy goal and defending it for the rest of the game.

whilst their fans will wank themselves into oblivion over it and pretend nothing else matters if they win, this signing would ensure they've gone full Mourinho. They may very well win a few more charity shields and Europa leagues under him but it leaves them severely limited once he finally alienates and pisses off too many people and leaves. The decline when he goes will be even greater than when Fergie left. Imagine inheriting that squad and trying to play anything other than every man behind the ball hoofball?

If the bolded above is true, why are you so worried?

That's the exact reason why I'm not. So long as his touch stays as shot as it has been, I'm not worried at all. Its a lot easier to score playing for Everton against open teams. It would be a lot harder when 70% of the league park the bus against United and the other 30% his team will park the bus against. I guess i he can look forward to a fair game against Arsenal and Everton.

This kid is going to be special. Am a bit annoyed at how little respect and coverage he is getting. He's a fucking talent.

Probably because we'll just sell him for a profit in a few years so it's barely news.

Edit: His YouTube video i just watched is better than Samaras though, does look a talent.

If someone told me that Utd would reportedly be on the verge of breaking the Pogba record I'd be worried - thinking CRonaldo or Neymar or Mbappe but for Lukaku? He'll score goals but he will likely have plenty of games where he can't do anything right

More worried than if they had got Morata/Griezmann but not exactly quaking in my boots though. Lukaku doesn't need to be world class to be highly effective in that efficient but visually horrific football Mourinho plays. He'll do very well there, the style suits him and doesn't show up his deficiencies as much. He'd probably score more at Chelsea just because they are significantly better and actually attack more than twice a game but his weaknesses would be more apparent there.

T an extent but remember at home Utd can't play counter attacking football. I dont think Lukaku has the trickery to open up defences. He's more a battering ram who cuts in from the wing. If hegets a defender isolated he wins most battles, but at home defences will make sure that rarely happens

So the cheap twats want to pay around the same for a lad with zero first-team experience, as they wanted to for Roberts, who had a very successful 18 months with them? Fuck off Celtic.
